Ken Bruce has promised a "bigger and better" second series of 'PopMaster TV'.

The 73-year-old broadcaster brought his long-running radio quiz to television last year with the More4 show last year and says that some new features make the new series - which begins airing next week - even better.

Ken told The Sun newspaper: "I think it's bigger and better this time. We've refined it just a little bit with a new round. It's called Mix Tape and there's a lot of jeopardy in it.

"There's a button the players have to press to stop a randomiser going up and down lots of different music categories and nobody ever seems to manage to stop it on the one they want, it always seems to stop on the one after.

"As it goes along, the randomiser gets faster and then it becomes even harder to land on what you want it to. It's a really good new addition!"

The new series begins with two celebrity specials featuring the likes of Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt, actress Sally Lindsay and choirmaster Gareth Malone and Ken has declared that he will not be giving the stars an "easy ride" with the questions.

The Greatest Hits Radio presenter said: "Sometimes when you watch celebrity editions of quiz shows, they can be a bit easier. But that is not the case with this one. We're not giving the celebrities an easy ride.

"It is brave of them, they've no guarantee they'll be able to answer anything. Everyone hopes they will but it's never easy.

"It's a dangerous thing in a sense for pop and rock stars to take part in, but I'm glad they're taking the chance."
